Hybrid giant lipid vesicles incorporating a PMMA-based copolymer

The vesicle consists of a closed membrane subject to a bending rigidity modulus, and extra terms which couple to the area inside it and the orientation of the local arc perimeter..

Obtention of Giant Unilamellar Hybrid Vesicles by Electroformation and Measurement of their Mechanical Properties by Micropipette Aspiration... OBTENTION OF GIANT UNILAMELLAR

More specifically, upon generation of the tubular membrane shape by the reticulon scaffolds, the membrane monolayers accumulate an elastic en- ergy related to a mismatch between

In figure 5, for large J/kT (and small values of AP/kT-near zero) the radius of gyration becomes constant. As the value of J/kT decreases, the radius decreases slowly, without a

It is found that the bare critical temperature T$ of the phase separation is shifted to a new T~, due to the coupling between the vesicle shape and the order parameter [9, 11].

minimal energy: I) discoid tori; it) sickle-shaped tori and iii) toroidal stomatocytes. Symmetry breaking shape transformations occur at the lines C*, Cdi« and Csi~k. These

Spreading/permeation mechanism of an EPC vesicle on striped patterns (2.5 µm width) as a function of time (from left to right): (1) regime I, approach; (2 and 3) regime II, spreading

— Je me demande… ce que ça fait de faire un braquage, tu sais, on va devoir survire sur la route… Je voulais qu’il me dise quelque chose comme : « ouais, j’en ai fait un,
